Irish Mohair Throw Blanket - Pink/Yellow/Purple Tartan Plaid, 70% Mohair Wool Blend (54" x 72")

Wonderful throw blanket! Lightweight, great quality! I enjoy it! Thank you!

Soft. Great for cuddling up with a great book. Warm yet very light and breathes - it is not suffocating but instead warmly enveloping

Got this as a gift for my Mum, whose family were Irish immigrants. She loves it, it is so soft, is light in weight but very warm and a perfect thickness for a throw, gorgeous colors, is a generous size for a throw, and is very well made. For something of this quality that is actually woven in Ireland from Irish wool and mohair, it is a fair price. This is an heirloom piece that will last many lifetimes if properly cared for.

Beautiful throw blanket. The pink color is glorious. Soft to the touch. Warm but extremely light. Don?t hesitate. It?s lovely.

Beautiful item...high quality - the color (pink) is stunning. Soft and not scratchy. No pilling. Totally worth the investment!

This blanket is beautifully woven, incredibly soft, and warm. I got it for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely adores it.

Very warm and lightweight

Keeping warm!

Absolutely magnificent. I love it.

This is a beautiful blanket that truly keeps you warm.

I'm a yarn worker, so I'm fairly familiar with fibers, especially the natural fibers I love & prefer.

My husband ordered the Multiplaid from my Gift List and the blanket arrived today (so the 3 star rating is just because first impressions).

Unfortunately, Amazon must have fulfilled the order, because the blanket was folded and put into their basic clear & green plastic bag when the original packaging isn't available; thus, I probably got a returned item (advertised as "new"). I'd think for a $200+ dollar blanket, particularly mohair & wool, it'd have come in one of the nice "gifting" boxes retailers often use, or even a cotton drawstring bag for safe, breathable keeping, or even a standard zippered bedding bag (like my other, cheaper wool blankets come in), not in a folded thin plastic, non-protective bag! Automatic star deduction for that.

The blanket itself is soft & light, but nicely warm & comfy. The weave seems loose, but I think that's because of the mohair, which is quite fluffy-- the air pockets is what helps insulate, so a tight weave would defeat the great properties of mohair & wool, not unlike when I knit or crochet with these fibers. Interestingly, though the weave seems to be "loose," the thickness of the mohair can be felt with the fingers.

The colors are lovely, vivid, but muted so it's not "screaming" or garish. Color transitions are quite nice. Will match any of my rooms!

As is the usual case with natural animal fibers, I expect some loose fibers & flyaways & "linting." Until I see how this holds up, the other temporary star deduction is here.

For now, I'm quite comfortably reclining in cotton flannel pajamas with the Biddy Murphy Mohair Wool Throw Blanket over me. It's keeping the Montana chill away without being weighty. I'm looking forward to testing this blanket more after my upcoming surgery when I will need *lightweight* warmth!

After more time passes, I'll provide an update (yes, I do update my reviews).

Too early to recommend at this time. But I can tell you that just buying mohair & wool yarn (retail prices) to make a blanket this size would cost about the same as this finished product! That was one of my considerations when I added this Biddy Murphy blanket to my Gift Me list. That, and my Irish heritage. :)

UPDATED TO 4 STARS, 26 Jan 2024, after the arctic weather dropped our temps to well below zero for a couple of weeks & this blanket was quite warm & comfortable.

A beautiful blanket whether wrapping up for warmth or just resting legs and feet atop. The warmth will radiate through. It is perfect for the desert evenings when the sun goes down and temps drop. The cat loves snuggling on it too and you know how fussy they are!! It will last forever if properly cared for.

Soft and gorgeous - exactly as described.

Soft and beautiful blankets. I purchased two for my front porch chairs. They add an elegance to the look of my front porch. And they are wonderful to be wrapped in. They have even got wet a bit from rain and dried nicely without staining the light colored chairs that they sit on top of.

This blanket is worth it. If you?re looking for the perfect gift for someone you love and want them to feel like the most special person in the world to you. This is the gift! My wife loves it and my five year old and two year old cuddle up with mom whenever she?s wrapped up with this blanket. (Yeah they would anyways) but this is just so soft and my wife says she loves it daily and she?s had it for six months almost.

I waited a month to write this review to be fair. It is so soft, warm and light weight. My husband run hot, I run cold. He like AC, I like to be warm. This is the perfect solution for us. Many nights this is on top of my side of the blanket and we are both comfortable. I imaging this winter I will appreciate it even more. So glad I bought it. I love the fact that it is from Ireland, home of my ancestors, so I feel a strong connection. Recommend.

Yes

Beautiful and warm. Luxurious.

Lovely colors, gorgeous, light material, made in Ireland. I adore my blanket.

So warm and soft. Beautiful colors--makes me feel rich although I am not.

Top quality product. Reminds her of Ireland.

Amazing perfect gift for grandma

Colors are beautiful and more vivid than the photos. Blanket is soft and warm. Very pleased with this purchase!

Beautiful colors in this blended mohair wool weave. Silky, soft, fluffy, and warm. Striking and gorgeous with the morning, afternoon and evening sun shining on it. It's lovely draped over the back of a sofa adding color and warmth to the room and decor. Worth every penny.

Superb. Beautiful mohair blanket in pastel blocks. Love it in my favorite chair.

This blanket is light, soft and perfect on a couch. The colors are muted and pull my room together.

A lovely throw that will brighten and cheer any room - on the bed or by a chair or couch. Large enough to be a light blanket for added warm on cool nights. Feels very luxurious, soft and elegant looking.

High quality and absolutely beautiful.

I ordered this very ample-sized, multicolored, mostly mohair wool throw both for warmth and visual aesthetic in my rather eclectically furnished main room. It more than exceeds my expectations in both realms -- a true work of art in both its craftsmanship and visual impact!
